听歌学英语:深情演绎的吉他 Are You The One

Are You the One这首歌演绎的是孤独者的爱情，也是荷兰“Within Temptation（诱惑本质）”主唱Sharon den¹ Adel与“Stratovarius（灵云乐队）”当家吉他手Timo Tolkki合作的成果。Sharon自96年Within Temptation组团开始便为其主唱。她嗓音独特，声线高亢，听上去有种金属的质感。

Are you the one—Timo Tolkki
Are you the one?
The traveller in time who has come
To heal my wounds to lead me to the sun
To walk this path with me until the end of time
Are you the one?
Who sparkles in the night like fireflies
Eternity² of evening sky
Facing the morning eye to eye
Are you the one?
Who’d share this life with me
Who’d dive into the sea with me
Are you the one?
Who’s had enough of pain
And doesn’t wish to feel the shame, anymore
Are you the one?
Are you the one?
Who's love is like a flower that needs rain
To wash away the feeling of pain
Which sometimes can lead to the chain of fear
Are you the one?
To walk with me in garden of stars
The universe, the galaxies³ and Mars
The supernova of our love is true
